About the course
In the "twin peaks" model of financial services regulation, introduced by the FSR Act, the regulating authorities of the financial services sector are divided into two centres: the Prudential Authority and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority. The Conduct of Financial Institutions ("CoFI") bill means further developments in the industry.
This eight-hour course aims to demystify the relevant legislation that governs the twin peaks regulatory environment and aid participants in understanding the fundamentals of the CoFI bill.
Government procurement accounts for a substantial part of the global economy and is therefore closely regulated in law to prevent fraud, waste, corruption or local protectionism.
This field of law called public procurement regulation is internationally one of the fastest growing areas of legal interest both in practice and academia.
Join us for a twenty-four-hour course, held over six days, in which we will cover the important aspects of public procurement, and explain the relevant procurement law, analyse the new Procurement Act 28 of 2024 and discuss what has been achieved with regards to procurement policy, procedures and best practice.
